This is the first blog entry I've ever made from home.
Which means I'll probably be blogging a bit more regularly. I finally got a real computer at home, which allows me to get real work done. And also a source of endless distraction.
It's been a good fall so far. A lot of the same. We went out to Montana to see Capria's family, which was fun. Her brother has three sons between 5-1 and they are a lot of fun. We don't see them often.
I've been working on William Carlos Williams and the Avant-Garde, Wallace Stevens and Martin Heidegger, and inculcating English 202 students with the radical values of free thought. Last week I was able to attend this, a seminar by Alexander Nehemas, a visiting lecturer from Princeton. It was very cool.
A great thing about having a computer is getting to work on my french by listenting to philosophical discussions on radio france. Fun.
Another new distraction? Capria bought me one of those joysticks with 5 atari games for the TV. All I need in my life is video games.
Last night we went to see Good Night, and Good Luck with friends. I think black and white film is such an amazing medium.
I got this in the mail yesterday. The author is coming to UW in February.
Now you know more about my life than you wanted.
